Big Top by Rob Harrell for June 22, 2009

He’s got my vote too!

Morning, Tribe. Bagels today after the feast yesterday. Doc has the coffee all set up to brew. I did bring some left over dim sum for those who like to start their day with a BBQ pork bun.

I agree DCGuys,* BTW Congrats on being first.

Thanks, Marg for the breakfast! Sounds great! Did you read about the fight last night? Unfortunatley I had to leave early and missed the main part. I heard it was quite a war.

Yes, I missed it, too. Sigh,

sooo what is up? im just stoping in to say hi. its been a long day today and will talk to you all later.

Sure looks like a chat room…………….. Love the comments.

Good morning and Happy Monday. It’s one of my mandatory vacation days, so I decided to see if I could sleep in. The cats tried their best to get me up but then they gave up.

DocT that was a cool video from yesterday, but how does that tiny white shield protect your son from anything?

You’re early doc! Mornin’

Mornin’ all!

Another week starting already? Where are the days going? sigh!

gmartin always good to see you again. Yukon welcome, enjoy reading your comments on the other comics.

Thanks Rob for the new idea over @ Adam!!!! Ladies, we forgot the buckets the other night!! They will come in handy the next time! LOL!

2 Cows hasn’t updated yet!

Most of you get up earlier than I do. CDT here. Enjoy.

Good morning all! Had a stressful day yesterday. My dog Cleo was very odd yesterday, pacing all day, shaking, dazed and slow. I don’t know if she suffered a stroke or if she got into something. Just before our company got here, she seemed to instantly come out of it, except for teeth clacking. She hasn’t gotten up yet this morning & her hearing was bad yesterday too, so she hasn’t heard me.

Fortunately, not all of our company that was expected arrived and those that did came in the evening instead of the original idea of coming for the whole day.

I have been having an ongoing battle with a contractor who built are stairs down to the lake. After a year of trying to get him to come and put a proper stain on the railings he finally sent his son after my wife threatened to report him to the better business bureau. His son did a poor application and there are many bare spots. Now, I have to get him to finish the job.

I barely slept last night. Sorry to spill out my troubles.

cleo sorry to hear about your day yesterday. Hope Cleo is feeling better and they fix the stain.

cleo, that’s what we are here for! Could Cleo have gotten into some type of poison? Has she eaten anything since this happened? Are you going to call the vet today?

Let me know what happens. Positive energy coming your way!

And I think I would make that guy come back and do a proper job or do report them to the BBB!

When you’re stressed its a bad time to have company. Its good they weren’t there the whole day!

Good Morning everyone, and dcguys’ right. Is isn’t a chat room, it’s a forum. Chat rooms are where you talk with everyone on line live. Forums (like this one) is where you post your comments, wait a while, then come back to see if any one has responeded to your remarks. I find this to be much better than chat rooms. I haven’t been in one of those in five years.

Aw, the “guy with boot on head” was so original too!

Good Morning Yappy Nuts!

Yukoneric, Welcome. I too have enjoyed your comments on various comics here. Don’t worry about the time zone, we are from all different time zones too.

gmartin997, I just saw your comment on my local news website. Your comment was NICE there, you even put LOL after your comment. BTW, that isn’t a chat room either.

Cleo, I hope your pooch will be okay. I agree with Dry, take your pooch to the vet. Good thoughts and vibes for all of you! Also, you shouldn’t have to correct the contractor’s mess. Call him and tell him to fix HIS mess.

BBL

Akenta - Thanks for the good wishes.

Dry - Yes, Cleo has eaten. My wife is a nurse and she will assess the situation today. At first I thought that she might have gotten into something like anti - freeze, but the symptoms have seemed more neurological. I am thinking it might have been a stroke. My last dog Kaya, had several strokes before she died and while the symptoms weren’t identical they were reminiscent of them.

doctortoon -Thanks buddy. I am attempting to stop payment on the check and my financial adviser is working on that. We shall see.

Cleo seems pretty good this morning. Instead of letting her do her usual visiting, we have kept her close to home. I just got back from taking her for a walk and she did well.

doc, left you a message at Fox trot!

I see doc was feeding the fire again! Pardon my ignorance but is SSDD, something Deficit Disorder but what?

doc, left you a message at Agnes!

dry, added message on Agnes too

DAAAAAAHH Strip:

A Republican finally won something!

Oh, wait, they already took the Sideshow Freak Award in November - guess the show’s goin’ on tour now, under

Ris no politics please.

“”Gone to Nuremberg”

Risitas, you know better!!! TSK!

JFri, okay????

@tabby, going back and catching up on comments I missed, I was reminded of another stupid sequence that was spoken in court:

LAWYER: You signed the death certificate? PATHOLOGIST: Yes. L: Before you signed the certificate, did you take his pulse? P: No. L: Did you check to see if he was breathing? P: No. L: Did you listen for his heartbeat? P: No. L: Well, how could you be sure he was dead? P: I’ve got his brain in a jar on my desk, but I guess he could be walking around practicing law somewhere.

War crimes against womanity!

Are you guys reliving your old battles? Yep, we are a bunch of hardened veterans.

I’m thinking that Elephant-nose man only won because taffy woman was pulled from the competition…

@tabby, fun avatar!

@doc, you too!

bmonk, funny comment on taffy woman!

so now JFri is making up words!

Yeah JFri, what’s up with that?

I had to take daughter #3 to the ortho. It was a long appt. I read 2 1/2 People mags.

Making the rounds, BBL.

Speaking of sideshows, I haven’t been since I was a kid. I would imagine that they would be more politically correct now. But then how could it still be bizarre?

cleo, that last one I saw had a “giant” horse. It was a Clydesdale. Neeeeiggggghh! BTW, did anybody see Pickles? Jor-el, said that one of the “Tribe” could probably come up with a better punchline than Opal. Any takers?

I tried to think of a last line. I came up with the word chalk to rhyme, but nothing else.

Hi Tribe. Good afternoon, that is.

RL intrudes, and I must be away from here longer than I’d like.

I left a comment on B.C. rather tame. I think I’m still water-logged!

@bmonk: Taffy woman found the show stretched her beyond her capabilities.

((((((Cleo))))) That’s for the dog Cleo. This one’s for you: ((((hug)))). Isn’t there medication for strokes? I know that asprin is poisonous to dogs.

Hope that you draw from the bank today, and I hope that you get the stairs and railings done properly. Call his bluff and call BBB if he thinks he can get away with shoddy work.

I agree Doc. AAH is just like our water fight!

DRY, Carmy, Dawn, Akenta et al, I’ve got two buckets- how many do you have?

JFri; Is that what thoses trials were for? My mom had a book written by a German doctor who described some of the “experiments” they did on women. It is scary the depths that humanity will sink to sometimes. So Sad.

But why did you bring up the subject? I missed something.

Shika - stroke medication for humans has to be given within a very short time frame after the onset of the stroke. Something like within the first two hours or so. I don’t know about meds for dogs.

I can’t resist making a deposit in the bank for Cleo & cleo. Hope all is well. Shika can stop worrying, although I doubt she will. I think that little bout of…ummm…weirdness has left me.

Now I’ve got to check out Pickles.

Positive thoughts & peace, for all!

Hi Carmy. How’s life without the pump? Must feel great.

Tabby: Have a good day- we miss you around here. (((tabby))))

Hi dcguys! wink Still pondering whether I’ll worry about you.

Welcome Yukoneric and other new comers. Yukon- how did you get your name?

BBL Have lots to do.

DOC, get out of your dressing room and make a funny for Pickles! Akenta, chalk is okay. All I could come up with was “fock” you know. like “Meet the Fockers.”

Morning RRAmom– Haven’t seen you since I came back. I guess that Cleo is recovering for now, so we’ll just send lots of love her way.

I can’t stay, but will check out some sites before departing again.

Morning (well, now afternoon) doc & shika

I wrote on Pickles. May not be funny enough though, but it’s the best I could come up with.

Okay dcguys. I won’t worry. Now I’m consumed with curiosity. What *weirdness overtook you?*

@ Pickles - If this ol’ hat could talk And these ol’ boots could walk They’d pen poems by the page And step onto the stage Showing all the younguns how to really rock!

Shika - It was probably one of the new meds I’m on. I’m referring to the “weirdness* that caused some of the typos and sensoral reactions to certain characters on these pages a couple of weeks ago. As far as just me as me…you should probably still worry. snigger

Good one dcguys.

Your right. I’m worried again. (hee-hee)

Hey Doc! Check out Wizard of Id. I think they were watdhing our water fight too, although it could be a coincidence that the strip involves hiccups and water.

I’m almost finished my rounds at toonville. Boy, last time I sleep in!

Hi Shika, YES, life without the pump is wonderful. I’m not going back to chemo until July 6th. See you later Doc, have a nice nap. P&L.

Good to hear Carmy. Enjoy your vacation from chemo.

My parting shot for now:

anyone notice that “elephant man” is a woman? me neither, until now.

In my wanderings through the two comic sites (for my daily laugh), sometimes the comments are far funnier than the strips, as long as the commentators play nice. When they don’t it can be boring, even ugly. (Insert comic strip title here.) Thanks, folks, for making my day. (A member of the Cloven Hoof Tribe, apart from, but similar to, this Tribe.)

Gracias, Joy!

Welcome to our Tribe AddADad! You probably know our simple rules but will let docT do the official explanation. I’ve seen you around other sites & always enjoy your comments. Now, if you really want to get in good bring some yummy virtual food!

Hey

Give me a minute!

the extreme nut job is back!! LOL!

Ok there’s your minute!

Greetings to everyone, especially all the newcomers. I just joined the Tribe a few months ago and I love it here. Everybody is great but a little [?] nutty at times. I usually make this my last stop on my comics circuit so I can take time to enjoy. Sort of like saving dessert for last. Of course, sometimes someone will mention another strip and I’ll have no choice but to go check it out. Cleo I really hope your dog will be ok. Don’t worry about bothering anyone with your troubles. We are all friends here. I am sending a huge deposit to the bank for anyone who needs it. I had to make a withdrawl a few days ago and it really helped. Thanks.

Ya’ll go read my Pickles contribution.

Hi AddADadaAdDad, nice to see you!

Serena how ARE things going for you? cleo, you KNOW I’m a dog lover so you also know I wish the best for your pooch!

Joy That’s a great idea!!

Joy, Dry soooooo many choices there!

Joy, I think that’s a good idea too.

Yes there are, huh JFri. In some cirlces, I guess I’m considered the nuttiest! :-)

I think our Joy was trying to spell ratatoulle, LOL

Funny Joy!

AddADad welcome to the tribe!!

JFri, did you notice what Joy said? She’s COOKING, not microwaving, she’s COOKING!!!!!!

You can tell Akenta is off work today, she’s around more than usual. I hope you’re enjoying your off day Akenta!

Welcome AddADad ! Curious moniker!

gmartin, you do care!! LOL Check out the other day 400 plus, sir!

where’d you go?

Hi AddaDad and GMartin and the rest of the Tribe!

DocT I think you are now officially Adam from AAH.

Joy great idea - I looooove peanuts!

Cleo I hope little Cleo is much better - maybe it was just a plugged ear. Whatever, here’s some energy.

Won’t be around much today but will pop by occasionally to get caught up.

As DocT would say **P & L

Cleo, I hope your dog is better this afternoon. Our youngest dog suffers from seizures, and we have to give him phenobarbitol twice a day.

Report the guy to the BBB. That is shoddy workmanship.

Tabby: Nice to see you back.

The Cloven Hoof Tribe was years ago. We were all siblings from different parents, all friends brought together by fate who thought enough alike to form a close knit group. Sadly, it was dispersed by various means (re-locations, illnesses, turning into a he-she) that it exists now only in my memory, jogged by you fine folks. And that from a time when distances were covered by car & not by a few clicks on a computer. That Tribe is dead, long live this Tribe! (Not much of a cook, but I can bring pirogi.)

Hello everyone, and new-comer AddADadaAdDad Busy day today, must finish catching up on the comments and make my rounds BBL.

AddADadaAdDad, I think several of us can relate to what you described. Life goes on. I’m glad you came back. You can bring whatever you want here. We’re not picky.

gmartin, yesterday we had 211 and the day before that we had 451. We’re just getting started!

AddA, when Doc shows up later, he can give you the rules, unless he did already. Sorry, I don’t remember. :)

Joy, have you ever tried putting diced potatoes in your scrambled eggs? Actually, I use some frozen diced potatoes that they label hash browns.

Joy, you have an invite over at FBOFW! Thought you’d like to know!

jdoc, was my Pickles poem offensive? I can delete it.

Joy boiled peanuts sound interesting - next time we are down south I’ll look for them. A sister is moving to the south eastern states so it may not be that long away.

No it wasn’t offensive, nothing much offends me. You can definitely keep it up.

by the way, Joy, what is Home Bistro, like Schwans?

cleo, how’s cleo?

Thanks jdoc!

That sounds like salt potatoes in New York. Raw fingerlings cooked in a ton of salt until the salt is gone and the potatoes are tender, then heap with a bunch of melted butter. Good eatin’ and amazingly, they don’t taste salty!

Pssssst……..AddA……….donuts!!!!!

I’m getting hungry again. Just as well - goin’ out for dinner!

Joy, liked your edit.

BBML

Boy, I like my job! Left home this morning with a couple of strippers to do a tool demo! Oh, c’mon now, get your minds out of the gutter!! They were cable strippers! Demo went poorly until I discovered the last one to borrow them messed up the blades badly. Once I got them replaced all went smoothly!

Joy, really, I thought I’d pull a JFri stunt and light my grill indoors!!! LOL

Hey, that’s why this is the place to be! We need to find the pirate, we’re due for a PAR TAE!

Hey JFri, I didn’t have my mind in the gutter, ;-D

Yes Joy I did get the duct tape remark LOL

An aside to Drystyha—It’s just word play. One consonant & one vowel equals how many valid words which can be used in a sentence, however absurd it may be. “We ewe wee wee eww.” Finding the absurdities in life also makes me laugh.

shika - Cleo and I thank you for hugs.

doctortoon - I also have wondered and thought maybe they assumed we were calling all gocomics posters the tribe.

dcguys - Thanks friend.

carmy - I am glad that you get a chemo brake. I hope you enjoy it.

serena - Thank you for the deposit. I have done some withdrawals.

JFri - Yes, I ‘d recognize your dog anywhere. Thanks.

Dawn & Dry - Thanks dears. She is better today, but sleeps a lot.

Marg - When Kaya had them I gave her pheno too.

Adda - Welcome and excuse me while I push you aside for your food.

P&L JOY!

Dry - Your mind may not be in the gutter but it has definitely reached the hydrant. LOL

Hi Doc! Did you have a nice rest? Will you run the rules by AddADadaAdDad when you get a chance, if you haven’t already?

Again I let you sleep

I’m getting too soft on you!

Night Joy, sorry I missed your return trip!

cleo, did you ever find out was wrong with cleo? how old is she?

Dry - Cleo to this point has been a young 12. Not sure what was wrong, but she is fine, for the most part today. Fingers crossed. Thanks.

BBL. t-storms heading this way, gots to mow the front yard real quick like. it’s a small lawn.

AAAARRRRRRRR, Joy, me luv! I be approachin’ th’ dock now! I like me rum & Coke th’ way ye do! A damsel after me own heart!

I got two toots, are there any more? I tooted so loud I may have missed one!

cleo, yeah I know what you mean about a young 12. and a young 16 and 17. I have cats now, long stories, but I still want a dog. I miss having a dog!

pirate, you better get out there! Don’t want to make our Joy mad! And don’t forget how she likes her rum and coke! Much like my tuna sub, more like a jalapeno sub with some tuna thrown in to hold it together!!!

Dry - I love dogs to the point of when they become ill, it is definitely a family member that is ill. When I lost Kaya, I thought no dog could possibly replace her and she travelled well. I was a travel writer and photographer and was on the road for very long stretches. I didn’t get another dog. Then I met my wife who had Cleo. Cleo didn’t replace Kaya, she is a totally different personality. It was terrific, I gained two new traveling companions and a dog that is every bit as good a pal as Kaya , but you can’t compare the two, which to me, is perfect.

Cleo, I hear ya! Pets are family members and each one is unigue, and all very special to us. If they aren’t you shouldn’t own a pet in the first place!

Dry - It always amazes me how many gocomic posters are animal lovers, with many using their pet as their avatar or name.

2 more TOOTS back at ya!

cleo , yes it is amazing! But animals have no hidden agendas, except to get fed LOL! It’s too bad more poeple aren’t like that! Of course, if you feed me, I’ll follow you anywhere! :-D

Dry - You and doctortoon are a few #TOOTS short of a load.

Cleo, YOU BETCHA!!!

AAARRRRRRR, and she be proud of it!!!

one more toot to make sure you’re wide awake for work!!

alright commic, what did you do to Joy? That was quick, whatever it was!! :-D

AAARRRRRRR, Dry I be feedin’ her an’ plyin’ ‘er wi’ drinks! Just what be ye thinkin’ I done wi’ er?

commic, knowing you it’s hard to tell! ;-D

AAAARRRRRRRRRR, Dry I be th’ perfect gentleman!

doc,GOTCHA ! Be good, or at least be careful! wink

Test, test (ignore this!)

Dry, nothing so sinister! Just sending kKenny

Kenny a note on Blackberry quirks!

Cache just LOVES playing ball!

Good evening all, one quick peak in to say HI, before I zip out again, possibly for the night. Enough with the Toots in here, it is starting to smell. lol. I see Cleo beat me to that punch.

JFri, I know nothing about blackberry’s! So kKenny means nothing to me! And I know Cache loves playing ball, Cache loves just about anything! He’s a sweetie pie! specially in his cap!

Dry, quit drinking so much rum! Kenny? The GoComics comicgod? Hello? Anybody home???

Just thought I’d switch things up here.

Dry– That contest? You’d win hands down. I like the idea of booby prizes. I need more of those. LOL

Dry, you’ve been to the Space??

Dawn I keep missing you! What’s going on? We’re supposed to be partners in crime, or something like that!

johnnydoc, it’s not those kind of toots! I have a one woman band with all kinds of horns to make sure doc gets up on time for work or whatever else he has planned!!

Shika, thanks, I THINK!!

Johnnydoc– You “peaked” too soon me lad. Should have “peeked” first! ROFLOL

Why do you always peek and run anyways? =D

Yeah,* JFri*, I’m home! I think! This place does look familiar!! LOL!

You’re welcome Dry. Any time, hee-hee!

Dry My spagetti sauce has jalapaeno peppers in it. Gives it a nice kick.

shika has to be a lot of jalapenos for my taste! I would use them in mine but my kids don’t like hot stuff!

JFri– No “funny” stuff tonight, involving mushrooms of any kind- d’accord?

Well we made it past 170! How do you like them apples gmartin? LOL

That should make gmartin happy.

JFri, part of it! Didn’t get the whole way.

I mowed the lawn, did some weed whacking and was sweeping up when the storm hit. Then I had to wait a few for the storm to pass so I could shower. Now I’m fresh, fresh (as my grandma used to say). What’s new here?

carmy, fresh as a daisy?

Deader than a doorknob when Doc is pre-occupied. come on Dry, you’ve got to keep these numbers up.

Joy: I missed you again. One day we’ll get to chat!

Carmy: You’re as fresh as the flower on my avatar! I think the boys are laying low for now, so watch your back! Don’t need two showers in one night!

Sorry, I was watching Mulan.

I don’t know what my grandma meant by fresh, fresh. She was so cute. Even in her old age she had really black hair that she would put in pigtails or braids.

We’re never gonna get this numbers up for gmartin without cleo and

Where you at?

Carmy, sounds like my grandmother with the long black hair to her waist. She always wore it in a bun until her late 80’s before getting it cut.

Dry, you snuck up behind me. Shika, you think we might get a sneak attack?

Carmy- Can I use your dishwasher again? I’m doing dishes after cooking-ugh.

I’ll be back and forth, so carry on regardless! As if you won’t-ha-ha!

Shika, throw them dishes over girl! I’ll get them to fit in the dishwasher.

Looks like you may be the hands down contest winner!

Shika, did your gm’s hair ever go gray or white? My gm’s hair was black for a long time, But when my grandpa died, her hair turned white really fast.

Okay Carmy! Catch!

Whoops! Well, just wash what’s left, okay?

Okay Shika, I’ll catch the next one for sure!

Carmy- My Grandma’s hair turned salt and pepper. She was 93 when she died. My Ddad’s hair was still black when he died at age 70. My hair is golden, reddish blonde, but it is turning pure white in such a way that I look like I have platinum highlights. Not bad. really professional looking, without the cost!

Hold the dishes, Shika. I have to go hear Donny Osmond sing his song on Mulan. be right back

I have heard of that happening. Hair turning gray almost over night! I’d give an opinion on it but far be it from me to sound like a know it all!! LOL couldn’t resist that parting shot!!

for what?being the nut job? LOL Thats okay I love peanuts and cotton candy!!

Okay, I’m back. Dry you do know all! LOLS. That’s what happened to my gm, it was like overnight. Shika, my hair was brown with all sorts of highlights when I was young. Now it’s black and very thick. I have several white hairs, probably more than my Mom and she will be 79 this Sunday.

Alrighty folks this id my last post of the day. Dry, I know about your band, I was just trying to be funny. Shika, I shouldn’t type so fast when I do my drive-by posting, but I was in a hurry. I had lots to do today. Now I’m off to bed, good night all!

johnydoc, Goodnight! P & L as doc would say! See you in the morning! By the way, don’t worry about being funny! You were a real hoot when we had our water battle!! We need to do that again soon! Haven’t laughed that hard in a long time!

night johnnyD I think I’m going to say good night too. Sorry I didn’t talk more in the evening. will try and do better tomorrow.

Goodnight jdoc!

I agree with you there, jdoc was lots of fun in the water fight.

Akenta, don’t worry! You had the day off! I hope you enjoyed it! Goodnight!

Goodnight Akenta! Sweet dreams and P&L to you! I hope you had a nice day off too.

Shika, are we done with the dishes?

Good night johnny! Glad you can take a joke.

Dry, I think you’ll be the winner of the nutty contest, and not because you know it all. =D

You’re nutty regardless! +D =D

No shika, I am the Nut Job!

Mua is getting bored again. Let’s have a water fight next time we can sleep in. I know I’m off work, but I try to keep to a schedule when I can. It’s better for me. So I’ll be going to bed any time now.

But I’ll keep the buckets handy!

OH! I forgot all about the Nutty contest. What’s the prize? If it’s a cool prize let me know. I can really nutty for a cool prize.

Carmy- Yes, we are done! Thanks for your help! It is better when there two pairs of hands, and a dishwasher, of course!

When is the nutty contest? Not tonight I hope.

Carmy- I think the prize is all the peanuts and candy floss you can eat, but I’m not sure.

But if you want a cool prize, I’ve got ice!

wink

Hey what’s nuttier than

I agree he’s nutty- but would he?

Dry???

JFri I gather Cache is your dog?

I’m a little slow on the uptake here.

Shika would he what?

Would he agree that he is nutty, or, as you said, would IT agree that IT is nutty?

Shika, yes he is! A cute little guy!

we’ll do the darth vader when it’s the weekend! Besides we girls will have time to gather more ammo!!! LOL

@ JFri- What kind of dog? Was it you who had an avatar with a picture of your dog? My memory is for the birds.

@Dry– Don’t worry Dry, I’m stock-piling my ammo, and I know that you ladies down south have been cooking something up too. Just let me in ln it sometime before we start, okay?

Dry #####no show last 2!

I know you won’t believe me, but I really am going to bed this time- my eyes feel like sand paper.

Hope Cleo’s Cleo is alright. It’s not like cleokaya to stay away this long. :(

good night Dry and JFri. ” ” Carmy and whoever is lurking in the backgroud. Have sweet dreams everyone.

Peace and Love.

Yes, he was my avatar for a while. He’s an English pointer.

Okay I’ll try again!

Thanks JFri. got it. Cute little guy, if I remember.

Have a good night you two and whoever shows up.

try again. Don’t know what happened!

Shika, sounds like you want to win the corny prize.

Dry does it show as going through?

Sorry Shika, my last post was sitting here unposted while my daughter came to complain about “there’s nothing to eat”. So that took longer than it should of. Goodnight Shika!

JFRi yeah. Okay, I’m gonna try something else.

Dry all finally came through!

Okie dokie but you’ll get a duplicate of them from elsewhere! LOL

All is good!

JFri, May the FORCE be with you!

we’re getting very close to 250 here.

I wonder how cleo is doing. I hope poochie is okay.

Thank you all for being concerned about me and my buddy, Cleo. Other than sleeping a lot she seems pretty good.

I just want to let you all know how much I appreciate your concern. It is an odd concept to have such good friends that you have never met, but you guys prove yourselves over and over again to each and every one of us.. I thank you all for being a part of my life.

cleo, I know how you feel! I have some really GREAT friends here and they know who they are, you included! After all, we’re part of the TRIBE!!! THE TRIBE!!!

and cleo, like I said, pets are our family! I’m glad cleo seems good! Tmr. she may act a pup again!

cleo so good to hear cleo is doing better! Cache sends his very best!

Night my friends!

Carmy, after this, you may be right, if you get my drift! But let’s hope not!

Dry- I have been lucky with my pets. I have had 3 dogs and they have all been unique individuals. I was to self involved to really appreciate my first dog Winston, actually named after Tennessee Tuxedo’s dog, to show my comic heritage.

Hey, gmartin! Enough posts for you?

Cleo sends her best to Cache. Years ago she may have made a challenge, as an alfa female, but she learned ahead of the game, to quit while ahead.

cleo, I love dogs. We always had dogs when I was living at home in Texas. I can remember each one too. Now, we (my husband, our girls and I) can’t have one. We’ve been moving around too much and we are renting so no dogs allowed. Major bummer. When the hubby retires and we settle down in our own house, we WILL have our very own pooch. I can’t wait.

I forgot to mention that my husband’s family had a dog when we were living in Chicago. My husband had named her Bullet after Snuffy Smith’s dog. Bullet was a really good pooch!

We had quite the spectacular show here today. A very technical looking helicopter and several patrol boats and jet skis were involved in some arrest attempt on the other side of our lake. We watched the activities for over an hour with no apparent result.

I’m back so what did I miss? We had a bit of a plumbing emergency here so I had to leave quickly. After I got that all cleaned up, it was time to start thinking about supper. I was getting hungry and reading about meatloaf in the comments didn’t help. I love meatloaf. Cleo I’m glad to hear your dog is better. It is just as hard to deal with a sick, injured or old animal as it is for the human members of the family. My Serena had cancer when we had to let her go last fall. Three of my four animals are gone and the one left is getting old, though still healthy. Sorry I didn’t mean to go on like that. I guess I was just missing them a little more tonlght. Dry and JFri yoou’ve lost me somewhere. Not really all that hard to do sometimes.

serena - It is tough losing our pets. They give us so much without any anticipation.

Amen, cleo!

I like how we are all bonding . We have a very good group and a very intelligent reprsesenation.

I feel that I have friends in all areas of relaxation. Wah, they just tend to leave me behind.

okay im here for now… all i did was scan for my name to see if anyone said anything.

Marg i wish i was back back but im not.. :( im just passing threw as much as posible.

bmonk thanks ive heard that one b4 the pic is cute changing in a min.

Tabby! I was about to say goodnight. How are you doing girl?

tired. i’ve been so busy it is crazy, yet i cant sleep. I got my dad and nanny/godmother talking to me again and i should be okay, the little boy i babysit (one of them) is back we found him. (dad kidnapped him) and my friend is okay. one of my friends from church is pregnant. i just got a whole bunch of people stirred up on a pro life site bc they have idiots there who are not pro life looking for trouble and i gave them a piece of my mind and some scriptures to go with it. lol so i have a had an okay day.

how are you? i miss you guys so much.

I’m sorry you’re going through so much right now. I do pray everything will get much better for you as soon as possible. You know we are all missing you too!

thanks carmy i know i can count on you to pray for me. you are a great friend. i hate not having time to be here because you all are like a family to me. i miss talking to you all every day. it is just so sad. im trying to make it here and all of that, but i just cant seem to do it. im not sure what my day looks like tomorrow, but i will try to be on here, all i know is that come 10am tomorrow i have my grannys car to wash.
